Bill > HB1960

This bill designates a portion of State Highway 345 within San Benito's municipal limits as the Lieutenant Milton Resendez Memorial Highway. Under the bill, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is required to design and erect markers indicating the highway's memorial designation, including placing markers at each end of the highway and at appropriate intermediate sites. The bill provides for these markers to include the highway's memorial name and any other appropriate information, subject to existing transportation code provisions. This memorial designation serves to honor Lieutenant Milton Resendez, likely a local service member, by permanently recognizing his name on this specific stretch of highway in San Benito. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and was passed by the Texas House of Representatives with 130 votes in favor and the Senate unanimously, indicating broad legislative support for the memorial designation.
